Battlefield 4 to launch with seven multiplayer modes and ten maps

There sure is a lot of DLC planned for Battlefield 4--that's to be expected in a world where Season Passes exist. But what will actually be on the disc when the game ships in October?

There sure is a lot of DLC planned for Battlefield 4--that's to be expected in a world where Season Passes exist. But what will actually be on the disc when the game ships in October?

There will be seven modes to play through, many of them familiar with Battlefield vets: Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Rush, Domination, Conquest, Defuse, and Obliteration. These will be played across ten maps.

Two of these modes are new to Battlefield 4. According to CVG, Obliteration has "two teams face off on medium-sized battlegrounds where one bomb spawns in a random central location," and the teams try to detonate the bomb on enemy ground.

Defuse is a more intimate affair, focusing on "infantry-only" with players not being able to respawn.
